Posted on May 8, 2017, by Travis Pulver With only one game Saturday night, NBA fans had three for their viewing pleasure on Sunday—and they didn’t suck. Boston and Houston did blow out their opponents, but they were still a lot of fun to watch. Surprisingly, the Raptors gave the Cavaliers a run for their […]
Posted on May 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver The New England Patriots have dominated the AFC for almost two decades. In that timeframe, every team in the conference has looked to improve enough in the offseason to be good enough to take down the Patriots the following season. Sometimes it has actually worked, but then […]
Posted on May 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver It finally happened. The planets aligned in a way that allowed the Golden State Warriors to play in a semi-competitive game during the postseason. They won, of course, but for a little while, it looked like they might not. But they did—thanks to Kevin Durant. For the Utah […]
Posted on May 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver The longer the NBA postseason goes on, the better the game are supposed to be, right? Well—not this year. The Golden State Warriors are making their opponents look like JV practice squads. The Celtics and Wizards can’t decide if they want to be awesome or not. The […]
Posted on May 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver Free agency has died down, and the draft is over so more than likely teams are as good as they are going to get. But with the Hall of Fame Game (assuming it gets played this year) still weeks away, fans will have to make due with […]
Posted on May 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver With the way the Boston Celtics controlled the Washington Wizards in Games One and Two, there wasn’t much reason to expect anything different in Game Three. But the game would be on the Wizards home court. They found the magic and rolled over Atlanta at home. Could […]
Posted on May 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver After getting embarrassed on their home court in Game One Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs had more than enough motivation to return the favor Wednesday night in Game Two. At first, it didn’t look like it was going to happen. The Rockets gave as good as […]
Posted on May 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver For the Toronto Raptors to win a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they need to do certain things. They can’t let LeBron James dominate the game (easier aid than done of course), but even if he does, they still have a shot […]
Posted on May 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver Prior to Game One of the Western Conference Semifinals matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz the talk wasn’t about how the Warriors were going to beat the Jazz or what the Jazz need to do in order to pull off an upset. No, the […]
Posted on May 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver Come playoff time, team owners, the coaches, the fans, and the networks broadcasting games all hope that the league’s superstars will live up to their billing. If they do, their respective teams will have a better chance of winning. If the stars from both teams show up […]
Posted on May 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver Before the Western Conference Semifinals series between the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs started, most expected the more well-rounded Spurs not to have much trouble. San Antonio simply has a more well-rounded team. But sometimes a quality, well-rounded team can be bested if they don’t make […]
Posted on May 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver The only problem with sweeping your opponent in a playoff series is the time you may have to wait to face your next opponent. While rest is a good thing for basketball players, so is rhythm, momentum, and being in sync with your teammates. When you rest […]
Posted on May 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver After a hard-fought series, it all came down to one game. The Jazz had won three and the Clippers had won three. But to move on to the next round, someone had to win four. Could the young Jazz take down the veteran Clippers and win their […]
Posted on April 30, 2017, by Travis Pulver After watching their team overcome a two-game hole against the Chicago Bulls, fans of the Boston Celtics hoped their guys were back on track heading into the conference semifinals Sunday. The Washington Wizards would be a much tougher opponent than the Bulls. Fall two games behind against […]
Posted on April 29, 2017, by Travis Pulver NBA fans got the chance to watch three elimination games Friday night. Each of the teams looking to move on faced an uphill battle in enemy territory. But good teams don’t worry about where they play or even who they play. They play their game—and they win. […]
Posted on April 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver After seemingly endless weeks of talk and speculation, it is finally over. The first round of the 2017 NFL Draft has come and gone. But the talk and speculation have only just begun. Now, instead of guessing who will go where, the media and so-called experts will […]
Posted on April 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver After recording a win over their respective opponents at home in Game Five, the Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs were in a position to finish off their opponents in enemy territory Thursday night. Toronto had already beaten the Bucks in Milwaukee, but the Spurs had yet […]
Posted on April 27, 2017, by Travis Pulver Great players make great plays. That is who they are, that is who they get paid to be, and that is why fans watch the game. They want to see greatness. They want to see the amazing, unbelievable, and incredible. They want to see the best of […]
Posted on April 26, 2017, by Travis Pulver With the Spurs-Grizzlies and Clippers-Jazz both tied at two games apiece entering Tuesday night’s action, the stage could not be better set for someone to play the unsung hero. Now that the best of seven series has become a best of three, there is no room for […]
Posted on April 26, 2017, by Travis Pulver After Game Four, Russell Westbrook got upset when a reporter tried to ask Steven Adams why the Thunder tend to lose leads when Westbrook is on the bench. It’s not hard to see why such a question would bother Westbrook, but it would have been interesting to […]
Posted on April 25, 2017, by Travis Pulver There comes a time in every playoff series when it becomes apparent who the better teams are. The truly dominant ones will win the first four games and sweep their opponents. Some teams may take a few games to get their act together—but when they do, it […]
Posted on April 24, 2017, by Travis Pulver Watching a team dominant another can be entertaining, but it gets old. Where’s the fun in watching someone get their pride handed to them for a couple hours? Seeing it once can be cool, twice alright, but after the third you just want it to end. It […]
Posted on April 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver Sunday’s early NBA action meant something different to each of the team’s involved. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was a stepping stone; something that had to be done to get where they want to be. For the Indiana Pacers, it was a shot at earning a little […]
Posted on April 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver Memphis finally broke through against the San Antonio Spurs with a big win in Game Three putting an end to a 10-game playoff losing streak to the Spurs. But if to have an honest shot at winning the series they needed to do it again in Game […]
Posted on April 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver After the way the Milwaukee Bucks destroyed the Toronto Raptors in Game Three, fans were probably confident that their team could take care of business in Game Four. But if the Raptors stars decided to wake up, it may not be as easy. Atlanta hoped that heading […]
Posted on April 22, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the playoffs roll around, fans hope to see the best of the best rise to the top. They hope to see their favorite players do what they do best. If things go well, a new star will rise, and an unknown player will make a significant contribution. […]
Posted on April 21, 2017, by Travis Pulver Often times it is the higher seeded team that ends up winning the series—and with good reason. They are seeded higher because they won more game. Theoretically, since they won more games they must be the better than the lower seeded teams. So when they play a […]
Posted on April 20, 2017, by Travis Pulver This one has to hurt for fans of the Indiana Pacers. Their team wasn’t just up at halftime—they were killing the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 74-points the Pacers scored were the most a LeBron James team had ever given up in a half during the post season. Things […]
Posted on April 20, 2017, by Travis Pulver As much as we would love to believe anyone can win once the playoffs start, that is simply not the case. Some teams are just better than the rest. They aren’t always the highest seeded teams for any of a number of reasons (injuries, chemistry, etc.). But […]
Posted on April 19, 2017, by Travis Pulver The NBA Playoffs continued Tuesday night with the promise of even more great action. Could Giannis Antetokounmpo lead the Bucks to another upset win over Toronto? Would Boston wake up or would Chicago take down the Celtics once again? How much would the Jazz miss Rudy Gobert? […]
Posted on April 18, 2017, by Travis Pulver San Antonio Spurs fans should feel good about their team being up 2-0 on the Memphis Grizzlies in their first-round playoff series. Those that didn’t stay up and watch the whole game may look at the 14-point margin of victory and think it was another easy win. […]
Posted on April 17, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Indiana Pacers knew it wouldn’t be easy to steal a game from the Cavaliers in Cleveland, but they would need to if they were going to win the series. After getting within a point and a last second shot attempt in Game One, they probably entered […]
Posted on April 17, 2017, by Travis Pulver After a lengthy regular season, it is finally here—the NBA playoffs. Time for every game to matter, for no one to rest, and for a champion to eventually emerge. Will the champion be the best team in the league or will someone get lucky and pull off […]
Posted on April 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Memphis Grizzlies have had success against the San Antonio Spurs in the postseason. But their recent history against the Spurs has not been pretty. San Antonio entered the game having beaten Memphis the last eight times the two teams met in the playoffs. But while this […]
Posted on April 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver With a record of 42-40, the Milwaukee Bucks are not exactly a team that many are expecting much from in the playoffs. While they do have some promising talent, in the playoffs, promising talent is not enough to get it done. Whatever talent a team has must […]
Posted on April 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Cleveland Cavaliers realized that they were playing the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the playoffs, they were probably not too concerned. The Cavaliers won the regular season series 3-1, and the loss came without LeBron James in the lineup. Even when they were […]
Posted on April 14, 2017, by Travis Pulver In the not too distant past, the Los Angeles Clippers were considered a joke. They were one of the worst teams in the league. But in recent years they have accomplished what was once thought improbable—they have become respectable. They have gone from being perennial losers to […]
Posted on April 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver If the situation feels familiar, it should. Last season the San Antonio Spurs were the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, and the Memphis Grizzlies were the No. 7 seed. Memphis fans will be hoping that is where the similarities end. As a 7-seed, they know […]
Posted on April 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Toronto Raptors would love to be the team that finally dethrones the Cleveland Cavaliers. They would love to become the big dog and kick LeBron James and company off the Eastern Conference’s porch. But to get that chance, they will first have to get past the […]
Posted on April 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Indiana Pacers have been one of those teams all season that was full of promise and potential—but they were missing something. They were good enough to remain in the playoff picture, but if they were going to make it in and have a shot at making […]
Posted on April 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver The NBA’s regular season wrapped up Wednesday night. While there was nothing of significance going on in the Western Conference, over in the Eastern Conference, there were still a number of playoff scenarios still alive heading into the 82nd game of the season for several teams. With […]
Posted on April 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Miami Heat had a record of 11-30 the last thing fans expected to happen was for their team to be in playoff contention come April. But then they rattled off 13-wins in a row to improve to 24-30—and become a legitimate playoff contender. Heading into […]
Posted on April 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver Confidence is a good thing for professional athletes. Once they start listening to the negativity online and in the media, if what the haters were saying wasn’t reality—it soon will be. Besides, when you are as good as LeBron James is, do any games matter that are […]
Posted on April 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver We all knew it was going to happen. It was just a matter of when. When Russell Westbrook tied Oscar Robertson’s triple double record with his 41st one last week, there was no doubt that he would record at least one more in the team’s last five […]
Posted on April 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver NBA fans watching the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors play Saturday night were not as interested in who won the game as they were something else. Winning the game wouldn’t do anything for either squad. The Warriors are the No. 1 seed in the Western […]
Posted on April 8, 2017, by Travis Pulver There is no denying that Russell Westbrook is one of the best players in the NBA today. Many consider him the obvious choice for league MVP this season. In a way, he helped and hurt his case for the honor Friday night against the Phoenix Suns. He […]
Posted on April 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver With how the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled the last few weeks there has been a growing sentiment among some media outlets and NBA fans that their time on top is about to come to an end. Offense win games and they certainly have no trouble generating plenty […]
Posted on April 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver Jerry Jones may not find it as easy to get his face in front of the cameras for a few months. He will no longer be able to dangle potential Tony Romo news in front of reporters. Why not? It appears that Romo has finally come to […]
Posted on April 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver Gonzaga fans desperately hoped they would see their team win its first national title. Almost as much as North Carolina fans hoped to see their team win title No. 6. The rest of the college basketball loving world just wanted to see a great game between two […]
Posted on April 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver Of all the possible outcomes, the Tournament could have produced, the North Carolina Tar Heels facing off against the Gonzaga Bulldogs for the national championship is one of the best matchups fans could have hoped to see. In one team, fans have a group of players with […]
Posted on April 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver At this stage of the season, fans hope for good, close, hard-fought games. They hope to see the best of the best playing and for both teams to bring their “A” games. Overall—it is safe to say that the Oregon Ducks and North Carolina Tar Heels played […]
Posted on April 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver There is only one thing that can top two great basketball teams playing for the right to move on to the National Championship game—one of those teams being someone no one expected to be there. Regardless of what people may think of Gonzaga’s schedule, seeing them in […]
Posted on April 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver It happened a few nights ago when the Houston Rockets faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a potential first-round playoff preview and a battle between MVP candidates. Late in the game, James Harden came crashing down on his wrist. The pain and discomfort were enough […]
Posted on April 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver The San Antonio Spurs can be a little frustrating at times to watch. They are not the most exciting team. They are not flashy by any means. You aren’t going to see a bunch of rim-rattling dunks or coast-to-coast drives. They are all about the fundamentals and […]
Posted on April 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver Normally a win against a team like the Philadelphia 76ers would not be a cause for celebration among fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It would be expected, and while it is okay to be happy about winning a game you should win you don’t celebrate like it’s […]
Posted on March 31, 2017, by Travis Pulver Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a heck of a businessman. To take a team that has been mediocre at best over the last couple decades and turn them into the most valuable sports franchise in the world takes talent. He certainly didn’t do it because he […]
Posted on March 30, 2017, by Travis Pulver It may sound a little crazy, but a couple of weeks ago, it would have been easy to make an argument against the Golden State Warriors making it back to the NBA Finals this year. They started the month losing four of their first six games. With […]
Posted on March 30, 2017, by Travis Pulver Russell Westbrook is having a historic season; there is no denying that. For some reason, many seem to think he is not worthy of being the league’s MVP this season. Instead, they say James Harden or Kawhi Leonard deserves the honor instead. While their seasons have been […]
Posted on March 30, 2017, by Travis Pulver North Carolina has been there before. In fact, no one has been to the Final Four as many times as they have. The Tar Heels are the picture of excellence in college basketball. They are the program that other programs aspire to become. Oregon hasn’t been this […]
Posted on March 29, 2017, by Travis Pulver Lately, there has been a lot of talk about NBA players taking nights off during the regular season. It has the Commissioner concerned. The networks can’t be happy when their prime-time games end up featuring B-list talent—and neither can the advertisers that bought time during what was […]
Posted on March 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver For much of the last decade, it was easy to tell who would be named the MVP of the NBA Regular season. There was no mystery as to who deserved to win the award. Maybe there were a couple of candidates, but it was not hard to […]
Posted on March 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver It is not a state secret. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been on the struggle bus for some time. Their defensive ineptitude of late has almost been painful for fans to watch. Entering Monday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, they had lost three of their last […]
Posted on March 27, 2017, by Travis Pulver Fans knew they were in for a treat before Sunday’s Kentucky-North Carolina game tipped off. Here they had two of the best programs in the country–college basketball royalty—with rosters full of some of the most talented basketball players in the land. If fans were only going to […]
Posted on March 26, 2017, by Travis Pulver South Carolina shouldn’t have been playing basketball in front of a capacity crowd Sunday afternoon. With how they limped into the postseason losing five of their last eight regular-season games and then lost to Alabama in the Sec Tournament, they are the last team that appeared ready […]
Posted on March 26, 2017, by Travis Pulver It was starting to look like Kansas’ tournament to lose. The Jayhawks crushed their first-round opponent 100-62. Easily handled Michigan State 90-70 in the second-round and pounded on poor Purdue in the Sweet Sixteen to earn a spot in the Elite Eight. Frank Mason III and Josh […]
Posted on March 26, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the matchup involves a No. 1 seed facing off with a No. 11 seed, many fans likely lost interest. That sort of disparity should result in an easy win for the 1-seed–but only if the 1-seed brings its “A” game. Xavier, however, wasn’t your typical 11-seed. […]
Posted on March 25, 2017, by Travis Pulver There had been one thing missing from this year’s NCAA Tournament heading into Friday’s Sweet Sixteen action. We’d had upsets, blowouts, close games, and officiating snafus but we had not seen one thing—a buzzer-beating, game-winning shot. If you decided to go to bed rather than stay up […]
Posted on March 24, 2017, by Travis Pulver They are as easy to hate as they are to love. They have annoyed and amazed us to no end. They have thrown incredible touchdown passes, made electrifying runs, and have done some infuriating things—and they are both hoping that an NFL team will give them a […]
Posted on March 24, 2017, by Travis Pulver Fans should be happy with how the first four games of the Sweet Sixteen. That is, fans of college basketball should be happy. At this stage of the season, fans expect to see some great college basketball. Of course, while we enjoy close, hard-fought, competitive action, we […]
Posted on March 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver With college football, unless you are one of the top teams in the country you don’t have a chance to win the national title when the postseason comes around. Some would say that is how it should be. But others would say that sucks. It puts too […]
Posted on March 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver This time of year is both great and sad for college basketball fans. It’s sad because the season is almost over but great because only the best of the best are still standing. So, what games fans have left to enjoy will most likely not be blowouts. […]
Posted on March 21, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Era of the Big Three is still alive and well in the NBA even though there are not many teams that have an actual “Big Three” this season. The Cleveland Cavaliers have LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love. The Golden State Warriors have Klay Thompson, […]
Posted on March 20, 2017, by Travis Pulver Most college basketball fans don’t expect to have a perfect bracket after the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. For their respective circle of friends and/or office pool, they know they don’t need to be perfect in order to win. However, if a fan really wants to […]
Posted on March 19, 2017, by Travis Pulver After the first two days of the Tournament, entries in bracket challenges everywhere could be separated into two different categories—those that don’t have a chance and those that are still looking good. But it is Day Three that is the turning point. With eight games on deck, […]
Posted on March 18, 2017, by Travis Pulver One of the many things that make the first day of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament so awesome for fans is that they get to do it all over again the very next day. It’s not necessary to wait a week or even a few days. Fans […]
Posted on March 17, 2017, by Travis Pulver If guys take the commercials being played on radio seriously, there could have been a lot of guys sitting on their couches all day Thursday watching the opening day action of March Madness as they recovered from their vasectomies. It would have been a lot easier just […]
Posted on March 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver Long before the 2016 season ended, it was a foregone conclusion that the Dallas Cowboys were going to have to go defense with their first pick in the 2017 draft. Whether they go with a pass rusher or a defensive back doesn’t matter. They need both so […]
Posted on March 15, 2017, by Travis Pulver Everything was going fine for the Golden State Warriors. They added one of the most prolific scorers in the game to the roster in Kevin Durant. With his help, they were cruising through the regular season—but then he got hurt. Then the wheels fell off the Ferrari, […]
Posted on March 14, 2017, by Travis Pulver It’s that time again. Time for production at businesses across the country to drop. Time for about $10 billion to be wagered on the outcome of the many games to come and the tournament itself. Time for men all over the nation to willingly get a vasectomy […]
Posted on March 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver It sounds bad to have to say it. It’s even worse to have to mean it. But it is beginning to appear as if the Dallas Cowboys may want to seriously consider hiring a babysitter to keep their superstar running back out of trouble. That is if […]
Posted on March 12, 2017, by Travis Pulver Whenever you have two top-10 teams face off, you can usually count on the game being a good one. Make that game a conference tournament final, and you amp up the intensity just a little bit more. Add in the fact that one team just might want […]
Posted on March 12, 2017, by Travis Pulver Iowa State was not the best team in the Big 12 this season. That honor belongs to the Kansas Jayhawks. But when it comes to a single-elimination tournament the best team from the regular season is not necessarily the one that wins. It comes down to who […]
Posted on March 12, 2017, by Travis Pulver It wasn’t supposed to happen. Heck—it probably would have been a good thing if it hadn’t—but it did. A Duke team that could have used a little extra rest with the NCAA Tournament coming up instead played four games in four days. In the end, they made history […]
Posted on March 11, 2017, by Travis Pulver The notion sounds crazy—and it probably is. Houston wasn’t even expected to be in a position to be the No. 3 seed when the season started. With a new head coach, new system, and Dwight Howard leaving town expectations were that the Rockets could contend for a […]
Posted on March 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver After a disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics that saw Golden State produce a season low 86-points, the Warriors probably thought they would have no trouble rebounding against the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night. Even the most die-hard T-Wolves fan would have to admit the Warriors have the […]
Posted on March 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver Every team tries to do the same thing when free agency starts. By the time it does, they have analyzed their rosters, figured out where they need help, have a good idea who they want to resign, let go, and pursue. If things go well, they will take […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver Nine teams started the 2017 off-season with over $50 million in cap space to spend. Of the nine, only one—the New England Patriots—saw action in the postseason last year. So, theoretically, if they use their cap space well, the playoff landscape could look drastically different next year. […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver San Antonio had a chance to do something special Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. With a win, the Spurs could extend their record for consecutive seasons with 50+ wins to 18. They stood at 49 going on, had won their last eight, and were completely expected […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Golden State Warriors knew they were taking a chance a couple of years ago when they signed Steve Kerr to be the team’s new head coach. A former player, TV analyst, and executive, he had no coaching experience before taking the job with the Warriors. But […]
Posted on March 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver NBA fans in San Antonio knew they were in for an exciting game Monday night. Games against in-state rivals that also happen to be in the same division are always good games—but this one had a little more. It also featured two of the top candidates for […]
Posted on March 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver It had to happen eventually. The Pelicans were bound to win one with DeMarcus Cousins in the lineup. They hoped it wouldn’t take a couple of weeks—but it did. To be fair, they have played some good teams since Boogie Cousins joined the team. But they were […]
Posted on March 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver Vanderbilt does not have a great basketball team. They are one of the better three-point shooting teams in the nation, but that distinction isn’t enough to qualify them as “good.” Statistically, there is nothing that stands out about this team. Nothing that makes the casual college basketball […]
Posted on March 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver In one sense, the Duke-North Carolina game meant nothing Saturday night. North Carolina had already locked down the ACC regular season title. At worst, they are going to be a No. 2 seed in the Tournament. Their immediate future was already set. Of course, you can’t tell […]
Posted on March 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver According to an old saying, good things come to those who wait. True as it may be, if anyone were to ask fans of the New Orleans Pelicans, most would probably say they are tired of waiting already. Their team made a big move by trading for […]
Posted on March 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver Sports fans like records. They love to see them fall. It makes being at the game more memorable for them because “they were there when it happened.” As much as they like to see records fall, there is only one thing they like to see more. They […]
Posted on March 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver If you go to a Houston Rockets game thinking you are going to see some crazy, rim-rocking dunks—well, you will probably see a few. But if you go hoping to see them make it rain from behind the arc your wish will likely be granted. Houston is […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant in the off-season, the general perception was that it was the NBA Finals or bust for the team. They were already title contenders with their current roster. Add one of the most prolific scorers in the game today to […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver It has been a roller-coaster ride of a season for the Duke Blue Devils this year. They’ve gone from being the preseason No. 1 to almost entirely off the radar and back again. But after returning to prominence with a seven-game winning streak, they lost two in […]
Posted on February 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver At one point during the season, both Baylor and West Virginia appeared to be legitimate national title contenders. Baylor started the season with 15 wins including four over ranked teams and was named the No. 1 team in the nation for the first time in school history. […]
Posted on February 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver The North Carolina Tar Heels had a chance to lock up their 32nd regular season conference title Monday night against the slumping Virginia Cavaliers. Virginia came into the game having lost four of their last five. They, on the other hand, entered the game having won their […]
